New Macbook power brick
- altern8 12y ago"cable sold separately", amazing.
- geophile 12y agoNot necessarily a bad thing. The cable (to the macbook) is often the first part to go. Also, it means that you can just get cables instead of a new brick every time they change the bit that connects to the computer.
- altern8 12y agoI'm not saying it's a bad thing that is available separately, just that one isn't included.
- benologist 12y agoIt's a replacement or secondary brick - some people will need to replace the cable too, but everybody got one with the computer.
- usaphp 12y agoBut it comes in a box with a macbook. This listing is only for a power brick.
- altern8 12y agoOh, I see. Doesn't a power brick come with the MacBook, too, though..?
- steffan 12y agoThe convergence with power supplies for lower wattage devices is impressive. My iPad charger is 10W and just slightly smaller than this. This thing charges (and powers) an entire laptop). I expect in a generation or so of iPhone & iPads, all of the devices will share a common charger capability. iPhones & iPads will probably still come with lower-wattage chargers for cost reasons, but if you have an Apple laptop, it's very likely that you will be able to travel with a single charger for all of your devices. It's also conceivable that a USB-C device may be able to charge at a lower rate with a smaller charger; charge your laptop with your iPhone charger in an emergency.
